Spoil My Errant Wife

Without another word, he turned and walked out of the bedroom.

Christina stared at him in silence as he walked away.She was sure that this wasn't an illusion.

Patrick had been flustered, and his footsteps were hurried and messy.

What happened to him? Was he sick? Soon the door was opened again.

Nanny Faang came in with a large bowl of scallop porridge.

"It's very hot.Be careful.Nanny Faang was attentive as usual.She wasn't in a hurry to eat, and stayed in bed still, as Nanny Faang put a porcelain bowl and a spoon onto the table for her.

Suddenly she talked.

"Send some to Patrick's study.He may not have dinner yet..."

Nanny Faang served her half a bowl of porridge and said, "Yes, he hasn't had dinner yet."

"Miss Parker called to remind me that Young Master Patrick had drunk a lot of wine outside and hadn't had dinner.So I asked the cook to prepare dinner for both of you.I'll just leave the food here.He prefers eating with you here..."

Christina quieted down.

"Sure."

She answered casually.She rolled over on the bed and buried half of her face in the pillow.

It seemed that she had lost her appetite.

Then there was a click.

Nanny Faang closed the door and walked out.

Silence returned to the bedroom.

"Barbara is so considerate..."

She didn't get up from bed until Nanny Faang had left.

Maybe that was because she didn't want other people to consider her as someone who haggled over every ounce.

She didn't like to be jealous.

Christina had her own pride.

Although she could not help Patrick with the company's business like Barbara did, she could at least not be a burden to him.

Of course, she wanted to do something for him, but what? The exquisite big clock on the bedroom wall had gone from 10 to 12.

Her mind was just a mess during the past two hours.

She glanced at the door.
